Chromebook?

[pastafreak]

Anyone have one? Any recommendations?
I'm currently considering the HP chromebook 14...but am a bit confused,as there are variations available on several sites...but not on the HP site.

Some manufacturers seem to shy away from showing their Chromebooks!

Which! tested the 14 and concluded...

Pros: Excellent battery life, large screen size, built-in 3G mobile Internet connection, solid build quality

Cons: Low resolution screen, colours on-screen look washed out, low default brightness setting

I had a Samsung Chromebook sometime ago and I could say the same as the above Cons.

What is attracting you to a Chromebook.?

Surely a Chromebook will have a Google Operating System which will completely invade your privacy. Your every move will be open to tracking by Google who could then pass on information to whomsoever it wishes.

On another forum I use the vast majority say make sure you go for one using an Intel chip as it runs much quicker and smoother.

Thank you for your answers.
Jomlett...yes...I've seen those comments about the screen...some reviewers do not see it as a major issue.
Hans...I already have and use Google on both my tablet and mobile. I suspect Google already knows plenty about me. Besides,I'd rather Google than Windows.
alavahalf...that's something I'd noticed...the processor is Intel with 2gb ram on those on the HP website...while Amazon offers same model with 4gb and nvidia processor.

Methyl...according to this,it is the fanless processor...
